==Design details==

The SRS99-S5 AM is a semi-automatic, gas-operated [[Sniper rifle (disambiguation)|sniper rifle]] that fires [[14.5×114mm]] M232 APFSDS rounds from a 4-round magazine. It is, alongside its primary [[Covenant]] counterpart, the [[Zubo-pattern beam rifle|Type-27 Special Application Sniper Rifle]], the most accurate and arguably the most powerful small-arms weapon in either arsenal.

It is a successor to the [[SRS99 Series#Known models|S2]] variants used throughout the [[Human-Covenant War]] by the [[UNSC Navy]] and [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marine Corps]]. The S5 model incorporates many features seen on the older SRS99 rifle used in large numbers by the [[UNSC Army|Army]]. The SRS99-S5 AM is intended for use by [[Human augmentation|augmented]] personnel of the [[UNSC Armed Forces]]. The sniper features a very strong carrying handle, standard [[weapon attachment]] rails, and a heavily ruggedized frame.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/universe/weapons/sniper-rifle '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''Sniper Rifle'']</ref> The SRS99 is equipped with the [[Oracle R-variant scope]].{{Ref/Book|Enc22|Page=170}}

==Variants==

* '''[[End of the Line]]''': The ''End of the Line'' features reduced recoil and a faster rate of fire, but has less stopping power than the base SRS99-S5.<ref name="H5G">'''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'''</ref>

* '''[[Arrow of Time]]''': The ''Arrow of Time'' features an extended magazine and heavy-duty cyberlink that prevents its user from descoping when shot. However, it does have more recoil than the standard SRS99-S5.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}

* '''[[Nornfang]]''': ''Nornfang'' is the personal sniper rifle of Spartan-II [[Linda-058]]. It features Armor-Piercing High-Explosive (APHE) rounds, resulting in a greatly increased damage output. When in use, the user is shrouded in a [[Damage Boost|fiery aura]]. ''Nornfang's'' ammunition pool isn't shared with other sniper rifles.{{Ref/Reuse|H5G}}
